Transmitting Midi Clock data in Reason Essentials to Alesis SR16 drum machine

I want to transmit midi clock data to my SR16 drum machine so that when i hit record on the transport control and get a 2 bar count in my drum machine
kicks in on time after the 2 bar count so i can record it.

I can do this in Pro Tools easy, but am really struggling for some reason in reason essentials.

Please help!

Need help: Drum recording with condenser mics

Hello experts,

Im new to the world of drum recording and wondering about whether or not to keep using condenser mics. I find them brighter and more sensible to transients, hence picking up a cleaner sound, but when I use a lot of condensers together the madness begins. Bleeds mostly. Which make editing near to impossible.

compressors for guitar and drum tracks

Hey I'm pretty new to this and i've just started using some compressors on some guitar and drum tracks i've recorded I don't know where to start. Please help! I usually just set the threshold low and turn and turn up the input til i hear it working. Btw, if I want to limit the kick drum i just set the ratio above 10:1? I heard that somewhere. I really need to know how to use these things.

Drum Machine Suggestions?

So i'm just starting to build up my home studio. My interface is the Tascam US800, i currently have a guitar, bass guitar, MAudio Midi Keyboard, Mic and i'm looking to get a drum machine. As i'm new to this i'm looking for suggestions. I'm been doing some research and so far i'm been checking out the Akai XR20 Drum Machine. Any one have any experience with this thing?

My drum mics

I finally can record stereo drums but need some advice on which specific mic to put where. I have anSM58, a Sennheiser e835, an MXL 990, and an MXL 991 condenser. I have an ATM 25 on the kick, so that's taken care of. Just trying to figure out which mics should be left and right, which one I should put on my rack toms, and if I should put one directly overhead or on the snare. Please help!
